Businesses using labour supply

If you use workers who are not directly engaged by your business e.g. labour hire or contract labour, you must ensure you have undertaken due diligence to make sure these businesses are adequately registered for work injury insurance. If you do not, you could find yourself liable for the underpaid premiums and hefty fines.

A labour hire arrangement is one where a labour hire business or agency provides labour (workers) to you, the host employer. The labour hire business is ultimately the employer and responsible for the worker’s remuneration and therefore their work injury insurance.

You will be required to provide the name/s of the labour supply businesses you have used, their ABN and the total contract amount paid to each business during the previous financial year when completing your reconciliation statement.
